I picked up the Holga photos yesterday. What a neat camera! Some of the shots were throwaways, but others I liked. I put them up on my Flickr site. I plan to add to the photoset over time.

I’m disorganized at work. I’m disorganized at home. There never seems to be enough time to get things done. Often I’ll be looking for something I just saw yesterday, with no idea where it’s gone to. Clutter is everywhere. It’s overwhelming, and sometimes it leads to a sort of paralysis. I have a few friends who’ve worked on this; I think I need to, as well.
So I spent some time online yesterday, looking at houses in Saratoga Springs. I found one just outside of the city—ten minutes from Skidmore—with nearly an acre of yard, a nice interior, even a porch, all for less than $200,000. We’re not going to get this particular house - we can’t move until next summer - but its very existence makes us hopeful.
Of course, we still have to actually visit Saratoga Springs to see if we like it there, and if we like the surrounding towns to which we might move. Unfortunately, the city is run over with horse racing enthusiasts for all of August, so we’re going to take a mini-vacation there in October. It’ll be nice to see it in autumn, anyway.
